Argentina footballer Lionel Messi has formed an Oasis tribute band.
Messi plays guitarist Noel Gallagher in the group, who are set to embark on a secret European tour.
He has apparently recruited a Barcelona team mate to play Liam Gallagher, but has refused to reveal their identity.
"Our disguise is based on how Oasis looked in the mid-90s,” he told The Sun. “We have our wigs, clothes and glasses sorted.
"I also spent a lot of time getting the mannerisms right."
Messi has become an Oasis convert ever since Argentina team mate Carlos Tevez introduced him to the band before this summer’s World Cup.
He recently described the Manchester group’s music as the best “I have ever heard”.

Rod Stewart - Gravely voiced housewives' favourite Rod Stewart is not only adept at getting middle-aged women to throw their knickers at him but can also handle himself on the football pitch too. Having played upfront for Middlesex Schoolboys in his youth he went on to play for Brentford. "I was there on trial. I'd go down there three or four times a week to play and clean the first team's boots. But my heart wasn't really in it", Rod explained to Rolling Stone. Stewart also has a full size "premiership quality" pitch at his mansion in Essex and regularly plays in celebrity charity matches.
